If you have NERO please rename NeVideo.ax in C:\Program Files\Common
Files\Ahead\DSFilter\ to NeVideobak.ax.bak

Hi Barb,

Thanks for the fix.

I tried importing the whole thing and got

"Cannot import ...\fixthumbs.reg: Not all data was successfully written to
the registry. Some keys are open by the system or other processes."

I tried running in safe mode and got the same.

I then stripped out bits and ran it in stages. I think it was the
"[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\.jpeg]
"PerceivedType"="image""
bits causing the problems.

Anyway. The thumbs are now (mostly) regenerated by windows. On the odd
occasion, I get the message

"COM Surrogate has stopped working
A problem caused the program to stop working correctly. Windows will close
the program and notify you if a solution is available."

Any thoughts on what causes this? It seems to be that it may occur twice for
a folder of avi files. Then, two files will not have their thumbnails, but
re-opening the folder will show the correct thumbs for those two avi files
(with the COM Surrogate message appearing again as Windows tries to refresh).

Any ideas?

Martin
